In stranger then fiction Chuck P. delves deep into cultures or hobbies that we as mainstream culture are not usually exposed too. Such as the ever popular testy feisty or the castle builders. Do you take part in anything that would be considered sub culture in my eyes, or another person reading this question? What activities do you partake in that would be considered deviant.

I really don’t get involved in things that demeanor myself. I don’t do things that are abnormal or deviant. I am a fairly cool person. I don’t go out my way to please people. I’m not involved in things that I should be involved in. But I do things that help make me better; if it doesn’t help me then I don’t do it. I try my hardest not to embarrass myself or my family’s name. I do know some people who do things that we considered abnormal. One person that I know got his whole ear pierced because, people told him too. I would consider that abnormal because you just don’t see people walking around with their whole ear pierced. It wasn’t abnormal, would you not see other people like that. That is one thing that I consider abnormal and that I don’t want to do either. King Phillip
I don't see myself going to any massive orgies in the near future, maybe a few more years of sexual frustration may bring me to that point. I'm pretty much open to try anything(within reason). Just the fact of being living life above the average daily grind can making waking everyday a whole new experience. Everymorning waking to the same routine is bound to get a little stale. So if the oppurtunity arrises for a little excitement. Even if it is a massive sex party, well dammit Ill give it a chance. What really isn't socially exceptable these days anyway.
Do i ever take part in something that would be considered sub culture yes. I think at a point someone ends up doing something different then others. some may find it bad and others just would not care. It was when i was like in my young years meaning like 13 or 15 i used to hang out with a whole bunch of bad people well i was one of those bad people. we would be doing dum things in the streets bothering people and kids. And one thing i think people would realy see as a deviant activitie which get high in front of church to me i think that was a bad thing i dont know what any other person would think of it. And ts considered bad to me because doing drugs in public is wrong and also stupid. i dont know if this person who wrote the question would consider that a bad thing i think it is. And up these days i havent done anything stupid like that again. i used to be a bad person not caring about nothing and no one. i was not the perfect student or the perfect son which i dont think exist no one is perfect in this world.
I can't think of any activities that would be considered deviant except smoking. I go down the street to my friend's house and almost anytime I'm there, I can expect to smoke up. If I'm not smoking at his house, it's because we're going to Six Flags or another friend's house. Obviously, we would be smoking on the way to those places. A majority of our society wouldn't approve of my type of smoking because it's bad for my health. It holds me back. I know what it does to me. I don't know what percentage, but very much of that society judges people for smoking. But they have no idea why they look down on my kind of people. They know that it affects their life, so they don't do it. They don't know how it affects my life. They don't know why I make these decisions, and usually don't bother to ask me. Most of them just stand there and judge me. I don't see what gives them the right to judge the decisions I make, so I don't listen to what those people have to say.

When I first was staying out in the Burbs, my step sister and her friends invited me to this place called Ash berries. It’s a little coffee house somewhere down some high way and then a right on whatever street. I never really had shit to do out there in Homewood, cuz I really aint knew no one that stayed over there so they where hella determined to get me to this coffee house. When I got there a few dozen of people where crammed in this tiny ass room on an upstairs floor that looked alike an attic at some ones crib. They didn’t tell me what we where there for, but I just figured some kind of poetry meeting because of all the signs and posters I read going up the stairs. Long story short it ended up being an improve comedy night. The jokes the where talking about I really didn’t find funny, a lota stuff I couldn’t understand what they would be referring to… but everyone else found it pretty funny. To be honest I think I was the only one not laughing. Words like dude, nar-lee, (whatever this word means) and sweet had to surpass this Microsoft word count more than a hundred times. It was fun to get out the house and see what’s happening in the “World of the South Suburbs” but it really wasn’t my thing. That’s the only underground thing I've participated in lately. ….ASH-BERRIES
Basic what you are tried to say is do i take part in other culture this that got to do will the nature of the curlture the way it work or how to take part in it. for me i love takin g up another culture case u never no what if you will like it or join it. like im look in to asia culture cause how they build the great wall of wchina to keep out the hans. or how that almost the whole world gose there to just get spice and herbs. how the asia folk make most of our shoes and most of our colths and all of our game that we play almost ever day
there are a lot of thing that i did that was deviant like went i was little i use to play nic and knok. but not the normal way i use to throw rock at the window and run noe time i stoped the police and ask for a baseball card and he got rude and said go home you bastard and drove off so i shot at his car with a sling shot and broke the back window there was one time that i knok the sign out and the crossing gard hand and run i use to curis out the teacher flating they tires and steal gas from their car
I've done a few crazy things in my day before I even reached 17.. Some people would say I was lashing out and it was normal, some would just say it wasn't normal behavior.. But what is normal these days? I don't live my life the way most people would want me too. Meaning I think outside the box with most of the things I do, and not always in a good way. I've come a long way, and am living my life a little more normal these days but there will always be someone who will label it as abnormal. I don't think there is a happy meduim. What is normal to someone is not to someoneelse and if everyone thinks this way. There is no right from wrong.
Being an artist I feel is a Sub-culture for the simple fact that when you are creative people tend not to understand you. And people tend to stereotype you as a nut job. Like my live free do what you want to way of life is completely foreign to allot of people. They can't understand trying if not being your own person. Also when I tell people that I'm an artist they instantly think that I'm some loser who lives with his mom trying to sale paintings hoping to be famous one day. Which is further form the truth, and another thing why must all artist be gay. It’s like every time I tell someone that I’m an artist they “say are you gay?”. I so tired of that shit why can’t I be emotional and create without being gay, is our society that wrapped around gender roles. They think I should be big strong and play football, but I digress. What I’m trying to say is the sub-culture I belong to is art and it’s that simple art and art alone no if and or buts about it. But one more thing I would like world to begin to respect the artist, what I don’t understand is how people can’t see that art changes the world and it does this faster than money or war. MAKE ART NOT WAR!
Like almost everyone else on here we all do deviant things. Every day I do something that the person walking next to me would be considered deviant. I remember in high school if you walked on the left side of the hall way you got stared down. Is there any formal rule that says I can’t walk on whatever side of the hallway I want? Every day we participate and obey informal rules are society enforces. Why can’t I hold a conversation in an elevator? Sure some people do but most of the times your hesitant to even talk. These things might not be as bad as smoking crack in a daycare center but there all still considered deviant. When you walk around today try to find some “informal” rules you see everyone following, then break them. See what happens. Walk down the left side of a busy hallway, there’s no rules saying you can’t. It just is a way of speeding up the process of our lives. People like convenience.
Not intentionally trying to sound arrogant, but I have come to discover that I am a walking sub-culture. First, being African-American, people label a cub-culture for me. People who don’t know much about me automatically assume what I like and why I like it. They assume that I know everything about hip-hop, which I don’t. They make the assumption that I like things that are considered ghetto. Second, I’m an artist and I am suppose to like every bit of art ever made. Thirdly….Well we’ll just keep number #3 to ourselves, the Testy Fest subject was good subject to follow up on. The subculture of a sex-fest is priceless .
OH HOLLAR GET IT BOO
